Besiktas retires Williams’ jersey after 12 games

Deron Williams must have had a memorable career during his short stay with Besiktas in the Turkish League.

Despite playing only 12 games with the team, the franchise chose to retire his jersey.

Williams averaged 19.7 points and 6.4 assists per game while shooting 54.9 percent in seven Turkish league games.

He had some memorable outings in EuroChallenge, averaging 33.7 points per game on 62.5 percent shooting in three games.

His EuroChallenge numbers were spectacular — 33.7 points on 62.5% shooting in three games. His average was boosted by a 50-point game that left some EuroBasket reporters tripping over themselves as far as hype was concerned.

Likely, that was enough to lead to his jersey ceremony. Video of the presentation from You Tube is below.
